"This is an issue in our community that's unfortunately more common than most people think," she said. "It can be happening next door, and you don't realize it. It's not uncommon for a trafficker to use the fact that they have that person's passport and say, 'You know, if you go to authorities, I'm going to tell them that you're illegal, and that you need to be deported.' And who are they going to believe? An undocumented person, or what appears to be an upstanding business owner in the community with a track record of paying taxes?"

Bhatia lives in Brookfield. Milwaukee-based TMJ4 went to his house, but no one answered the door. Neighbors are shocked to hear of the charges, saying they often see Bhatia with his wife and older children.

The FBI is not revealing how they found out about Bhatia's victim.

"Whether someone said 'I saw this occur, and I'm worried about this women? Or whether she was so violently assaulted that she ran for help and was at a rape crisis center reporting. We don't know," Monaco-Wilcox said. "The important thing now is to make sure she's protected through this process."

If convicted on all charges, Bhatia could get life in prison. Right now, he's free on bond.
